“We are encouraging people to join the movement to move us closer to a world free of MS,” said Renée Young, Regional Manager of the West Virginia Division. “Many have trouble imagining what their lives would be without being able to move. People living with MS understand that moving isn’t always a guarantee and MS Awareness Week is an opportunity for everyone who wants to do something about MS now to get involved.”
For those who can’t attend or who want to do something about MS now, the Society offers some simple and quick ways to join the movement for a world free of MS:
